Night of the Werewolves - The Legend of Black Shuck

[Ciderhead]

I stand by my logic earlier, but nonetheless it is a very sad day to lose our first villager.

Just a word of warning though: I checked with SUTSS and he confirmed that the wolves can choose to kill anyone they wish. So we can't discount the possibility that Lee was a wolf and they sacrificed him to gain our trust. Again, I know this is outlandish, I'm just saying it would be rash to rule it out completely.

But now there are only 2 known members of the COT left I think it's become too risky to execute one of them to make sure. If he was innocent and the wolves kill the other one, we'd be fucked. So I'm happy to let things unfold for the next few days, hope they're genuine and that they make a breakthrough.

Lee was an innocent. Check first page

 

[Aberstone]

Active people like Stagat, Cardsfan and Aberstone who don't post much in here is a bit suspicious. Show yourselves lads.

EDIT - just noticed cardfan actually does. This game isn't for me.

*Waves*

I've got a hectic social life as the executioner but made time to be the first person to reply to the tragic news yesterday.

 

[last request]

Not going to reveal who the Seer is going to investigate, but I reckon we should hold off on voting until he gets his results.

Maybe you were only around then as you had just finished your wolfing?

 

[Cardsfan]

Lukey and Etty Abrics haven't posted at all in this thread I don't think.

JJ1532, The Alex, Inceptive Lemon and Savage have also been extremely quiet.

 

[JonBCFC]

Etty has at the beginning, I think.. Lukey is the only one not to have posted atall. But he hasn't been active on the forum atall so I doubt he's a wolf based in the fact SUTTS will need to know who he wants dead.

Etty however, I saw reading the this thread yesterday..

 

[Stagat]

Surprised to find myself mentioned here.

I earn my crust in drawing, not talking

What I will say is I'm annoyed by how willing people are to throw execution votes around like rain. If we stick together we can limit our losses to one innocent a night, which would make the game last longer. If the Seer can check one person a day, then the longer, the better. With Lee gone we don't have anything else to go on anyway.

Or we could execute everyone. If we can't win, neither can they.

 

[roversfan2001]

A sad death but wasn't surprising. We shouldn't rush into any decisions from now, the wolves are active and could kill any one of us.

 

[TomPNE94]

The Circle has a new member.

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

New Member for execution

The only person who is really arousing my suspicion at the moment is Steady. His vote for Ciderhead just before the execution deadline was very bizarre. Might have been a coincidence, but why would you wait until 30 minutes before the deadline? Seems like protecting your back. I'd like to see his explanation for this.

I can't get a previous game out of my head either. This was a guy who stayed a friend and maintained his innocence to me all the way through, before knifing me in the back and killing me. He is cold and calculated, and I will be keeping a close eye on any further actions.

Still think patience is key, mind.

As I said at the time, I expected to come under scrutiny for it, but I felt that consecutive execution votes for Tom and Lee were suspicious, especially considering most others are content with voting no execution until we hear anything concrete. I don't see how it'd be protecting my back, as Ciderhead hadn't voted for me or anything at that point.

Plus, that previous game was bloody hilarious.

I still have question marks over Ciderhead personally, although less so with the wolves going for Lee as I don't think he'd be that obvious. The best course of action is, however, patience as we speak.

 

[Stringy]

Something doesn't add up.

 

[Steady]

Care to elaborate?

 

[Stringy]

You are too quick to defend yourself.

 

[Steady]

Having been asked to do so (and with nothing happening at work except Liverpool being shafted), I struggle to understand what reply you'd have been satisfied with? Would you have been happier if I'd have waited half an hour then replied?

 

[Stringy]

I'm the one asking the questions, not you.

You're clearly intelligent, so why are you treading so carefully in this thread? Why did you wait until 30 minutes before the deadline if it wasn't to protect yourself? Your reasoning just doesn't weigh up. Strikes me as intrigue.

Don't be worried about the answers you provide. This should be as open a forum as possible; questions should be asked an co-operation provided.

I'll ask once more: what exactly am I protecting myself from? Ciderhead hadn't flagged me as suspicious, nor had anyone else. It's not like I was either trying to deflect attention or rally votes for someone else to save myself. I merely found the actions of someone suspicious, much like you currently do with me, and much like your evasion of questions is persuading me to think with you.

 

[Stringy]

Ciderhead had no opportunity to defend himself and I can't understand your motive for voting for him. How was his behaviour suspicious?

 

[Steady]

As I've explained twice now, in a situation whereby the overwhelming majority have voted no execution, he has voted two separate people to be executed, and the only two people we've had the slightest inclinations of innocence over at that. Your theory that I was protecting myself is bull, which is a point you seem to be evading for some reason. I was acting on an instinct and was completely open about that, and it's likely that Ciderhead was too. Would I be stupid enough to try and rally votes for someone about half an hour before the deadline? That's a question you need to ask yourself, because you're not answering any of mine...

 

[Stringy]

Maybe you didn't like his hawkish outlook. If you were a wolf it would be in your interest to attack him for trying to break the no execution consensus of the group. You could use it to defend your innocence in future, as you are doing now.

I think you can tell a lot about someone from the tone of their responses. You seem too desperate to convince me of your innocence.

 

[Steady]

I'm using nothing to defend my innocence, you need to come to your own consensus on that. I'm answering questions that are being asked of me, which is integral for a relatively open forum like this to work. If I were to avoid your questions over my actions then you'd once again question my actions, so essentially I can't win. It's your prerogative to draw your own conclusions on my innocence, as I won't be falling over myself to convince you.

One thing I have found strange throughout our discussion is your refusal to answer any of my questions, though. I don't actually believe you have anything to hide either, which is why I find it quite unusual.

 

[Stringy]

Your words and actions seem calculated and I don't like it. At the moment you are top of my suspicion list.

 

[Steady]

You're a fucking clown mate.

 

[Spirederman]

Right, after taking the last half an hour or so to read back through this thread, I just want to provide you with a few of my own observations, given the happenings in this thread in the last hour or so.
Steady was extremely quick to make lists earlier on in the thread about who had voted in the Mayoral Elections, and who hadn't exercised their vote for execution/no execution. Too much??
He's also on several occasions throughout the thread, been very quick to jump in and try and be oh so helpful, when anyone has had a query. Too eager to please??
What has really aroused my suspicions are 2 things though. (1) Asking the question in thread if it's been confirmed how many wolves there are in the game.He could have just gone to page 1 and checked. Why didn't he?? When previously being so helpful to others asking questions? Again, too eager to be seemingly innocent??
(2)This following post on page 23...

"Aha, cheers gents. Certainly gives Stagat's point plenty of credence in that all three of Lee, Tom and LR are incredibly unlikely to be the wolves. While I have doubts over all of them, I'm not certain we've got enough to go on."

After claiming we hadn't got enough to go on, to then shortly before the deadline vote for Ciderhead96, is the behaviour of someone torn between 2 persona for me. He may have meant he had nothing to go on regarding Lee,Tom and LR, and I'm sure he'll claim that's the case. I have extreme doubts about his intentions though.

With all this in mind, I'm going to go on a hunch, and ignore the Mayor's plea for patience.

Steady for execution.

 

[Steady]

As far as I see it, I've been criticised for responding too early to people either a) questioning my intentions, or b) just questioning anything. Had I left it and not replied I'd have been criticised. Had I waited ages before replying I'd have been criticised. It's understandable as we don't have much to go on at the minute, but frustrating.

On that same point, we don't have much to go on. The seer is obviously working to find innocents and a circle of trust is being built up, but any extra information we can collate can surely only help? If we can piece together clues as to how people are acting or, as is the case with many, not acting, how does that not benefit us? Is it of more benefit to stay silent like many others are? As I've said, I don't think silence is necessarily an indicator of being a wolf, but why is being more vocal considered suspicious?

To be honest, I asked about the wolves because for a game with 30(?) characters, three wolves seemed low. I should've checked, but my laziness didn't help me there.

As I've said, I won't strive to prove my innocence as I don't need to. You all need to draw your own conclusions.

 

[Stringy]

I don't think the issue is that you're vocal. It's that your posts lack an understandable motive.

 

[JJH]

I think people may be reading to far into the fact that people are quiet - maybe they've forgotten about this, or simply don't have as much time as the rest of us.

Best to question them first, before pointing fingers.
